More Blue Dragon Plus information slips out as the website launches

A pretty snazzy new website has just appeared for Blue Dragon Plus, the real-time strategic RPG sequel/spinoff to the Xbox 360 game Blue Dragon. Aside from looking pretty elaborate, with a video introduction, it also provides an ample amount of information on the forthcoming Ignition game. There’s a story summary, two trailers, character information and a few wallpapers. So when Blue Dragon Plus comes out February 24, 2008, people will be ready.

The trailers and character sections seem to be the most helpful, if you’re looking for game information. The Characters section is a bit unfinished, as profiles don’t exist for six of the 15 characters. All of the returning characters’ profiles are filled out though, in case you want to go back and refresh your memory.

There are two trailers so far (both in English), and I found the first one most enlightening. I knew Akira Toriyama (Dragonball, Dragon Quest) did the art and character designs and Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts) created the story, but I had no idea Nobuo Uematsu (of Final Fantasy fame) did Blue Dragon Plus‘ music. It looks like Blue Dragon Plus has quite a pedigree.

If you’re a fan looking for something special, there are also five wallpapers. Three feature Akira Toriyama character art – one with Shu, one with Jiro, Szabo and Marumaro and one with Fushira and a pink snake character. The other two are CG images seen in the trailer, one of Nene and the other showing the various cube worlds.
